Sridevi turns 52 years old! While the actress has moved on from her controversial past and will be busy celebrating her birthday with hubby Boney Kapoor and kids, Jhanvi and Khushi, media still remembers it.

The actress who started her career in movies as a child artist in Tamil cinema went on to become a top actress in South India acting alongside Kamal Haasan, Rajinikanth and even Chiranjeevi.

While people mostly remember her for creating problems in Boney's marriage and eventually marrying him, causing Arjun Kapoor to have a rather troubled childhood, most people have forgotten about her marriage to Mithun Chakraborty who was actually already married to Yogeeta.

The actress had come in between Mithun and his wife Yogeeta Bali, got married to him in 1985 and later got it annulled in 1988.

While there is no strong proof of it, there are several sources and reports which confirm this story. The actress's wikipedia account too states that she was married to Mithun for three years.

Let's read about their torrid affair and break up!

Sridevi-Boney Kapoor

Today, Sridevi has been accepted by the Boney Kapoor family and she leads a happy married life with him. They have two kids, Jhanvi and Khushi.

While speaking about Sridevi, Boney Kapoor said in an interview, "There is nothing that she can't do. As an actor her range is limitless. From comedy in Chalbaaz and Mr India to the mellow muted drama of Mom where she lifted a potentially routine story to sublime levels, she is according to me the best actress ever. And I take into consideration all the actresses from the past, present and future. I am pretty certain there won't be another Sridevi."

When asked what attracted him to Sridevi, he replied, "I was impressed from the start by the dignity with which she conducted herself. On the sets when she was shooting she would largely keep to herself. But she was never considered standoffish. There was always warmth towards her. What really endeared me to her was that she was down to earth. Success never went to her head. She was always grounded and continues to be. So commands respect spontaneously. When she enters a room people stand up for her reflexively."

Sridevi's sudden demise has come as a huge shock to not just to the film industry but also to her fans all across the globe.
